sustained EB-2 Case: Software Development
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the Director erred in concluding that the beneficiary did not possess the required five years of post-baccalaureate experience by the petition's priority date. The petitioner submitted additional documentation on appeal which successfully established the beneficiary met the requirements for an advanced degree equivalent (a bachelor's degree plus five years of progressive experience).
